• Design user scenarios and workflows to meet the needs of researchers, conservators, and heritage professionals.
• Develop and implement standardised templates for data documentation, ensuring compliance with FAIR data principles.
• Gather, prepare existing data, working closely with project partners.
• Coordinate with developers to test, configure, and optimise the digital platform.
• Lead community engagement efforts by organising workshops, webinars, and outreach activities.
• Document workflows, methodologies, and best practices to create a reusable framework for future digital resources. |

• An understanding of heritage science data and its applications, ideally with proven experience in organising and managing complex datasets.
